Night Games Synopsis:
The moment Grey Kelleher locks eyes with All-Star shortstop Chase Whitfield, she's a goner. For years, she's watched him play on TV, and now she's gazing at his hard, lean body across a bar in her hometown.
Grey's crush on Chase goes all the way back to his rookie season. So when she approaches him for an autograph, she's startled by what a jerk he can be.
Chase is no mood to humor his fans, even one as alluring as Grey. He's in the last year of his contract and stuck having to prove himself on a minor league team. He's only there to rehab an injury, nothing more.
But when Grey tells him off, Chase realizes her fiery spirit may be just the distraction he needs to take his mind off not being in the majors. His heart is safe. No one's going to break his streak as baseball's most eligible bachelor. Not even someone as irresistible as Grey.

Review:
4 Stars!
This book is wonderful. For me the beginning started out slow and there wasn't much to hold my attention, but I forged on, excited to get farther into the book. Once the story began, it was a world-wind romance. They fell fast for each other and had many obstacles to overcome.
When they first meet, it's not pretty. Chase glares at Grey, and hates her because he believes her sister is the reason he did so badly in his first baseball game back after being injured. So he blames her and is extremely mean to her, but he secretly wants her, because she seems different than other girls.
As for Grey, she is infuriated with Chase. She has followed his baseball career from the start and she put him up on this pedestal, and the reality of how he really is, saddens and angers her. So they go their separate ways after the game, but it wouldn't be a story without another meeting. And this one isn't much better, but at the end of this second meeting they end up escaping together, far away from the eyes of Grey's small town and Chase's obnoxious fans.
And this is when the story begins. They fall fast for each other, making decisions that would change both their lives forever. And then craziness ensues, and their story becomes more complicated by the day.
I really enjoyed this book. The only reason I give it four stars is for the fact that they fall for each other so fast. Their characters didn't have much depth yet, and then BAM! They're in love and fighting and trying to create something in a crazy situation. Other than that I would recommend this book for anyone who loves love conquering all. It's a sweet, exhilarating story that will have you smiling, quivering, screaming, and laughing.
Collette West Bio:
Collette West grew up as somewhat of a jock-nerd hybrid. Entering the world three weeks premature, her dad nearly missed her birth because he had seats behind the dugout for a sold-out, highly-anticipated match-up between two of baseball's biggest rivals. Not to be outdone, her book-loving mom taught her how to read by the time she was three. A love of the game coupled with an appreciation for the written word were instilled in Collette's impressionable brain from a young age. No wonder her characters believe in the philosophy: sports + romance = a little slice of heaven.
Splitting her time between the Pocono Mountains and Manhattan, Collette indulges her inner fangirl by going to as many games as she can from hockey to baseball and downloading every sports romance novel in existence onto her iPad. When she's not clicking away on her laptop, she enjoys walking her dog in Central Park, satisfying her caffeine craving at the Starbucks on Broadway and keeping an eye out for Mr. Right. But above all, she loves dishing with her readers. Email her at collette_west@yahoo.com.
